Water is on my mind again today. It seems like the drinking and appreciating of water has not been in the fore front of my life as much as it was a few weeks ago. Perhaps I need to reflect and think about it’s significance again. Looking at it in my glass so clear and mysterious, so pure, so healing, so necessary, I am intrigued by it. Water. Looking at life or human consciousness from a four quadrant perspective(mental, emotional, physical and spiritual)…….water is associated with the emotional quadrant. Actually, it can be associated with whatever quadrant you want it to be associated with. I link it to the emotions and the unconscious mind.

I will keep my mind open to noticing and reflecting on lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, and oceans. I renew my committment to drink more water and meditate on it’s significance.

Given I’m going to a Baptist Church, I’m thinking about getting Baptised again. I was baptised when I was a baby at the United Church…..that my grandfather built. This will be a different type of experience, being an adult and making a concious choice. It’s not something I want to jump into but perhaps if I start talking about it and exploring it a little bit more the spirit may move me to the water. There’s a song that my brother sent to me several months ago called “Lay me Down” by Crosby Stills and Nash that I really like. It is an absolutely beautiful song. I mentioned it to my Paster, Rob and he said he thought that it would be appropriate to play it at the church when I get baptised. Rob said to think of baptism as a “repsonse” to my call to the Christian path. Neat. I want to explore it’s significance a bit more first.

Water has been on my mind lately. It is a good thing to have on my mind too, given I don’t get enough of it. Perhaps writing about it may connect me to it more, help me to remember how important it is for me to drink and remember what an absolute blessing it really is.

Apparently in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Genesis 1:2
Now
the earth
was formless and empty,
darkness was over the surface of the deep
and the

Spirit of God
was hovering

over the waters.

According to Genesis, water has been right from the start.

The human body is made up of over 70% water. Our blood is more than 80%‚ our brain … over 75%‚ and the human liver is an amazing 96% water!

John 7:38

Whoever
believes in me, as the Scripture has said
streams of living water
will flow from within him.

2 Peter 3:5(b) states
The
earth
was formed
out of water and by water
(NIV)
